Morning everyone, it's bright & sunny here, getting out of bed was eventful this morning with this bad back, had to get my missus to pull me up from horizontal. don't think I'll be doing much today.

WOT !!!!! - Pervert !!!!
....... oh, hang on - I see what you mean
Joking apart, I hope you recover quickly Ian - I have to make sure I don't straighten up at the same time as twisting at the waist. If I do, my back immediately goes into spasm. Doing each action by itself - no pain at all
I'm on paper shredding duty today - my sister has decided it's time to dispose of the last 20 years (slight exaggeration, but not much!) worth of bank statements, council tax bills and a mountain of other paperwork

Good morning all, good morning Richard.

Tiger balm is king.

Good morning Andy and commiserations to Ian for the back pain. I wish you both a speedy recovery.

I saw the surgeon yesterday and we went through my scan results on the screen. He said I am heading towards surgery, but I am not there yet. I have 2 new aneurysms I had not seen before, in the Iliacs. The Iliac blood vessels supply oxygenated blood from the heart to the lower limbs. When the aneurysms get to 3mm they have to be repaired with either a graft or a stent.

I asked him why did I get them and is there anything I can do to make them go away or not get worse. I told him: I take my tablets, I don’t smoke, I exercise, I don’t eat sh or anything bad.

He said it’s age and nothing can be done about it. He said anyone 60+ should be on a screening programme and should have a scan for aneurysms and if they find one, the techniques have improved with most repairs being done in only 3 days in hospital using stents and cameras, saving lives, so not all bad news

Get well soon, Andy and Ian. Eat and drink, take your tablets

Afternoon Phil & thank you. coughing and sneezing is a nightmare at present, funny how you never want to cough or sneeze when your back isn't hurting.


speaking of screening programmes I received the bowel cancer screening kit in the post this morning. I shall be partaking in that test when my back eases.

I don't know which I liked the most - the 75 or the sheep

Feel like a wrung out cloth today, could I hell sleep last night. Think I finally dozed off around 3am. Woke up at the back of 5, took ages to get back to sleep again then up at eight.

Up in Tesco earlier, went to the loo. Do some people regard the "wet floor" sign as an instruction rather than a warning
